Based on a series of booklets written by bestselling motivational
writer Napoleon Hill, Andrew Carnegie's Gift outlines the
importance of three essential principles of success:
self-discipline, learning from defeat, and the Golden Rule. In
1908, Napoleon Hill met industrialist Andrew Carnegie for what he
believed would be a short interview for an article. Instead,
Carnegie spent hours detailing his principles of success to the
young magazine reporter--and challenged Hill to devote 20 years to
expanding that philosophy. Hill accepted the challenge, which
resulted in his bestselling book, Think and Grow Rich, as well as a
series of pamphlets he called Mental Dynamite. Now, the Napoleon
Hill Foundation has retrieved those long-forgotten booklets and
selected three major principles for elaboration: Self-Discipline,
which includes a 13-point psychological formula to use as a daily
mantra and to overcome past difficulties, both personal and
professional; Learning from Defeat, which helps you find happiness
with others, become self-determining, and turn stumbling blocks
into stepping stones; and the Golden Rule, for developing a strong
character and leading a selfless life. Each chapter draws upon
Carnegie's words and advice as inspiration, with annotations by
author James Whittaker explaining why they are essential--not just
helpful--for reaching your goals and prospering.
How to Find and Fix the Killer Software Bugs that Evade
Conventional Testing In Exploratory Software Testing, renowned
software testing expert James Whittaker reveals the real causes of
today's most serious, well-hidden software bugs--and introduces
powerful new "exploratory" techniques for finding and correcting
them. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience working at the
cutting edge of testing with Google, Microsoft, and other top
software organizations, Whittaker introduces innovative new
processes for manual testing that are repeatable, prescriptive,
teachable, and extremely effective. Whittaker defines both
in-the-small techniques for individual testers and in-the-large
techniques to supercharge test teams. He also introduces a hybrid
strategy for injecting exploratory concepts into traditional
scripted testing. You'll learn when to use each, and how to use
them all successfully. Concise, entertaining, and actionable, this
book introduces robust techniques that have been used extensively
by real testers on shipping software, illuminating their actual
experiences with these techniques, and the results they've
achieved. Writing for testers, QA specialists, developers, program
managers, and architects alike, Whittaker answers crucial questions
such as: * Why do some bugs remain invisible to automated
testing--and how can I uncover them? * What techniques will help me
consistently discover and eliminate "show stopper" bugs? * How do I
make manual testing more effective--and less boring and unpleasant?
* What's the most effective high-level test strategy for each
project? * Which inputs should I test when I can't test them all? *
Which test cases will provide the best feature coverage? * How can
I get better results by combining exploratory testing with
traditional script or scenario-based testing? * How do I reflect
feedback from the development process, such as code changes?
